Phase diagram of an impurity in the spin-1/2 chain: two channel Kondo effect versus Curie law

Sebastian Eggert, David P. Gustafsson, Stefan Rommer

We consider a magnetic s=1/2 impurity in the antiferromagnetic spin chain as a function of two coupling parameters: the symmetric coupling of the impurity to two sites in the chain…

Comparative study of mixed monolayers of a calixarene with a fatty acid and a non-amphiphilic nematic liquid crystal

F. Nannelli, V. S. U. Fazio, Y. Matsuzawa +2

Many nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) lack a polar headgroup and thus are not able to form stable monolayers at the air/water (a/w) interface. A way to obtain monomolecular films of…
